New Lancia Ypsilon All-Electric Hatchback Officially Unveiled

Italian automaker Lancia has officially unveiled the new Ypsilon electric hatchback. The New Lancia Ypsilon represents the first step in the Renaissance of the brand, whose clear and ambitious electrification strategy is proceeding in line with the Stellantis “Dare Forward” strategic plan.

It represents the next steps in a journey that began with the interiors of the Lancia Pu+Ra HPE concept car. Combining tradition and innovation in line with the brand’s pure and radical design language, New Lancia Ypsilon is the first car inspired by the world of Italian furnishings. It epitomizes design, comfort, and onboard well-being.

The model reflects the utmost attention to every stylistic detail, from the selection of the materials to the choice of colors: blue is used as the iconic hue of Lancia tradition, appearing both inside the car and out.

A soft blue velvet in 100% recycled yarn envelops the seats with “cannelloni” pattern and double stitching, with the same color echoed in the accents on the door panels and dashboard creating an elegant and coordinated interior space.

Lancia blue also features in the model’s unique, elegant, and contemporary bodywork: it blends in with the black of the alloy wheels and their dark dressing, resulting in a refined and uniform visual impact, with no chrome plating.

The New Lancia Ypsilon is the brand’s first 100% electric car. The model represents entry into the era of electric mobility, embodying its vision in terms of range, charging time and efficiency for market-leading performance.

With a 156-hp/115-kW power unit and a 51-kWh battery, making it best-in-class in the premium hatchback B-segment, the New Ypsilon boasts a range of up to 403 km (250 miles) in the WLTP combined cycle, with fast charging in 24 minutes (from 20% to 80%) or enough for 100 km in 10 minutes. The car’s fuel consumption stands between 14.3 and 14.6 kWh per 100 km.

Lancia’s clear and ambitious electrification strategy includes the launch of three new models, one every other year. New Lancia Ypsilon is launching in the BEV version, powered by a full-electric powertrain. In line with the Stellantis “Dare Forward” strategic plan, from 2026 Lancia will only be launching 100% electric models.

The New Lancia Ypsilon reinterprets with a modern twist the historic front grille, now revisited using three rays of light. It also highlights the Lancia lettering on all future models, the iconic round LED taillights – inspired by the legendary Lancia Stratos, the innovative S.A.L.A. (Sound Air Light Augmentation) infotainment system, a pillar of Lancia’s effortless technology, together with Level 2 autonomous driving, to travel out of town more safely and with a simplified in-car experience.

The New Lancia Ypsilon is a smart city car. The parking assistance system makes the car easier to drive and maneuver in the city, courtesy of cameras and front and rear sensors that facilitate parking. The two 10.25” screens (instrument cluster and digital radio) clearly display driver information and can be customized in terms of both layout and colors. The tech specs are completed by the keyless entry and start system and, for those who can’t tear themselves away from their personal device, a wireless phone charger and Bluetooth Android Auto/Apple CarPlay.

The New Lancia Ypsilon is making its debut as the New LANCIA YPSILON EDIZIONE LIMITATA CASSINA, a 100% electric version available in Italy in 1906 numbered and certified units.
